COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
In typical basestation transmitters, digital pre-distortion
is employed to improve the Transmitter performance.
The signal coming out of the PA is sampled and the
incoming Tx chain I&Q data is pre-distorted to
counteract the distortion inherent in the PA. The PA
signal is adjusted via a digital step attenuator to a lower
level and then sub-sampled at an IF frequency of ~200
MHz which necessitates the need for a highly linear
demodulator to downmix to quadrature IF from the
Transmit frequency. By sampling IF_I and IF_Q
independently and then digitally combining these signals,
an effective doubling of the sample rate can be achieved.
Any distortion in this path will degrade the performance
of the DPD algorithm. By utilizing an ultra-linear
demodulator w/integrated DSA such as the IDTF1358,
the ACLR and/or power consumption of the full Tx
system can be improved significantly.
